N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 pairs two fixed-port data center switches with eight 100G optics, making the purchase unit a bundle rather than an individual chassis. Each Nexus 93180LC-EX starts with 28 40G QSFP+ downlinks and four 100G QSFP28 uplinks; alternative port profiles change how those interfaces operate. The managed, non-PoE hardware occupies 1U per chassis and uses fixed interfaces rather than removable uplink cards. Default NX-OS software provides Layer 2 switching, with advanced routing enabled through additional licenses. The Nexus 9300-EX series belongs to the Cisco Nexus 9000 family and supports high-speed fiber connections within data centers. The discontinued N9K-C93180LC-EX is the individual hardware form rather than this paired bundle. Match the required interface arrangement and included optical components to the existing connections before specifying the complete purchase configuration.

3600 Gbps switching capacity per chassis serves the high-speed fiber interfaces without combining the two switches into one forwarding system. Over 2600 Mpps forwarding performance applies independently to each unit. 500W maximum power draw per chassis provides the electrical planning figure, while typical consumption is 220W. N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 contains switches with 24 GB of system memory and a 40 MB packet buffer for forwarding and control-plane workloads. Four fan modules in each chassis support either port-side intake or port-side exhaust configurations, which must match the installed power-supply airflow. Management includes the CLI, DCNM graphical management and programmable interfaces using JSON-RPC, NETCONF and RESTCONF. Cisco Cloud Scale forwarding underpins the fixed-port architecture. License-enabled unicast routing includes BGP, OSPF, EIGRP and RIPv2; multicast options include PIM-SM, SSM and MSDP. These routed functions are not included in the default Layer 2 feature set.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify the complete bundle contents, condition and required accessories on the purchase order. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty ended August 31, 2025. For enterprise and volume orders, PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement apply, with regional stock/RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When an existing 10G installation needs more connections without changing the switch family, each chassis can expose 72 10G links through supported breakout configurations. Native port totals and breakout totals represent different operating layouts. Specify the required breakout map, cable compatibility and peer interfaces before issuing the purchase order.
When preparing replacement hardware in a lab, each chassis provides one USB port and one RS-232 serial port for local staging workflows. Power On Auto Provisioning also supports initial automation. Keep the intended software mode and provisioning inputs with the build record, then specify the staging requirements before ordering.
Ongoing Cisco service coverage
Cisco service for this bundle ended August 31, 2025. N9K-C9336C-FX2 is the current migration model for procurement that requires current hardware rather than an unsupported replacement.
ACI 6.1(1) or later releases
Nexus 93180LC-EX hardware is not supported in ACI switch release 6.1(1) or later. An ACI build standard using those releases excludes this bundle regardless of optical compatibility.

N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 identifies a Nexus 9000 bundle containing two Nexus 93180LC-EX switches and eight 100G optics. N9K identifies the product family, C93180LC-EX identifies the switch model, and B2 identifies this paired optical bundle. The complete part number distinguishes the bundle from an individual switch or a spare chassis.
The Nexus 9300-EX series supports NX-OS CLI management, DCNM graphical management, JSON-RPC over HTTP/HTTPS, and NETCONF/RESTCONF automation; ACI mode is an alternative operating model. Each chassis also provides dedicated RJ-45 and SFP management connections plus a serial console. Specify the intended operating mode and management tooling separately from the hardware bundle.
N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 reached end of sale August 30, 2020, and its last date of support was August 31, 2025. Cisco service has ended for this bundle, including new sealed stock. N9K-C9336C-FX2 is the current migration model; that change requires replacement hardware rather than a software upgrade.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and service ended August 31, 2025.
N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 supports perpetual NX-OS Essential and Advantage licenses, perpetual ACI Essential and Advantage licenses, and combined ACI/NX-OS Subscription Essential or Advantage packages. Subscription packages have a minimum three-year term, with five-year options also available. Specify the required operating mode, feature entitlement and license quantity for both chassis separately from the hardware purchase.
N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 uses 32 physical ports per chassis, with a default layout of 28 40G downlinks and four 40/100G uplinks. Alternative NX-OS profiles provide 24 downlinks with six uplinks, or 18 40/100G ports. These are alternative interface arrangements, not simultaneous additional ports; match the intended profile to the existing connections.
No, N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 does not include advanced IP routing in its default Layer 2 software feature set. Additional routing licenses enable protocols including BGP, OSPF, EIGRP and RIPv2, with separately licensed multicast functions. A routed design therefore needs its feature entitlement specified in addition to the hardware bundle.
The Nexus 93180LC-EX uses two power-supply modules per chassis, with one operating supply and one providing redundancy. Supported AC choices include NXA-PAC-500W-PI and NXA-PAC-500W-PE. Match supply airflow to fan airflow, and do not mix AC and DC sources within a chassis; specify the fitted supply PIDs on the order.
No, N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 contains standalone switches rather than a hardware stack. vPC provides Layer 2 multipathing between independently managed switches, not a shared stack control plane. The paired bundle does not change that architecture, so peer-link connectivity and the separate configuration of both switches remain part of the deployment plan.
Each Nexus 93180LC-EX occupies 1U in a standard four-post rack, and NXK-ACC-KIT-1RU provides the rack-mount accessory kit. The chassis measures 44 mm high, 439 mm wide and 571 mm deep. Check cabinet depth, mounting hardware and front/rear airflow clearance for both bundled chassis before completing the order.
The Nexus 93180LC-EX supports 72 10G connections using breakout cables per chassis. That count applies to the breakout operating arrangement, not to 72 physical cages or simultaneous additional 100G ports. Specify a compatible breakout configuration and matching peer connections; the bundle's included 100G optics do not themselves provide breakout cabling.
N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 contains two switches and eight 100G optics, whereas N9K-C93180LC-EX identifies an individual switch. Both forms are discontinued and share the same underlying switch hardware. The bundle corresponds to paired-switch requirements; the individual PID corresponds to single-chassis requirements, with optical components specified separately rather than assumed from the bundle contents.
C1-N9K-C93180LCB2 is the Cisco ONE version of the paired-switch bundle, while N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 is the standard bundle designation. Both are discontinued and contain two Nexus 93180LC-EX switches with eight 100G optics. The Cisco ONE form corresponds to Cisco ONE purchasing requirements; the standard form requires its software entitlements to be specified independently.
N9K-C93180LC-EX-B2 is a discontinued bundle whose Cisco support ended August 31, 2025, while N9K-C9336C-FX2 is the current migration model and remains available to order. The older bundle corresponds to like-for-like requirements in existing installations; the successor addresses procurement that requires a current model rather than unsupported hardware.
